Abstract excerpt
PERA/Ei (PE) mice are susceptible to tumor induction by polyomavirus (Py), while C57BR/cdJ (BR) mice are resistant. Antigen-presenting cells from BR mice respond to the virus with interleukin-12 (IL-12) and those from PE mice with IL-10. These polarized cytokine responses underlie the development of effective antitumor immunity in BR mice and the lack thereof in PE mice. An ex vivo cytokine production assay using...
